Valtravieso Crianza 2018
Descripción
Con esta añada 2018, el Crianza de Valtravieso estrena imagen y muestra en su etiqueta la indicación de Vino de Páramo, en alusión al particular emplazamiento de los viñedos de los que nace: el páramo de Piñel de Arriba, a más de 915 metros de altitud sobre el nivel del mar. Las condiciones más extremas de este enclave con sus suelos eminentemente calizos propician un tinto de marcada acidez natural, gran frescura y verticalidad. Distinguido con la medalla de plata en el Concurso Mundial de Bruselas.

Opinión de los críticos
Aromas of plums, elderberries, dried herbs and baking spices. Full-bodied with fine-grained tannins. Fresh and structured. Excellent length. Cabernet sauvignon. Drink now or hold.
The 2018 Crianza was produced mostly with grapes from their estate property La Revilla at 915 meters in altitude. It's a blend of 99% Tinto Fino with1% Cabernet Sauvignon that was fermented by plot with indigenous yeasts and matured in used barrels for 12 months. The moorlands are higher in altitude and cooler, with a high content of limestone, and they want to showcase this terroir in their wines. The label now mentions Vino de Páramo (moorland wine). The wine has a delicate but powerful structure, perhaps given the larger grapes with more juice-to-skin ratio, with very chalky tannins and a long, dry finish. The wine is powerful but fresh and elegant, less extracted and with integrated oak, which seems to be the new house style. 240,000 bottles. (Luis Gutiérrez)
